“An injury update for today: Usama Young with a quad was limited; Anthony Waters (hamstring) did not participate; Reggie Bush (fibula) did not practice; Roman Harper (hamstring) did not practice; Pierre Thomas (ankle) did not practice. In roster moves, we signed placekicker John Carney and released wide receiver Adrian Arrington today and then in a practice squad transaction we signed tackle Jermey Parnell and released guard Jacob Bender.”

How is Drew Brees?

“He’s sore but he was full in practice and did well.”

Is he wearing protection on his leg?

“He put a brace on there but he was able to go full. He has some soreness but he was good.”

Can you say exactly what his situation is?

“There’s no situation. His knee is sore from the game. There’s no specific injury other than that he has soreness. We didn’t put him on the report. He took all the reps. There’s not an injury to report. I was pleased with how he functioned. He functioned fine. It’s something that as the week goes on, I think he’ll have no problem with and he did a real good job in all the team stuff today.”

I'm glad that Drew's knee is alright. Our offensive line was man handled last week. Atlanta has a very good defensive front and they gave us fits. They were in Drews face all game and if we can't give him better protection he could wind up injured.
